Hi John,
Not me - there are a few people who have had the issue, but I believe at least one person got it resolved by either having the HPFP replaced or the injectors (or both). I've had no issues with my engine "making oil". Oil level has stayed consistent.
I have yet to run into this issue. The only gripes I have with the truck is oil filter location and lack of storage under the rear seats. Other than that the truck is great. Yes plenty of bugs still need to be worked out since we are getting ready for the third year but conpared to other trucks on the market I personally feel the Ranger is at the top. I have also talked to others who have come out of the Canyon/Colorado, Tacoma and myself with Frontier and all have said nothing hold a candle to the Ranger. So perhaps you sgould re consider.
I don't get the hate for the oil filter - I actually really like it - it is easy to get to and get on and off and they did that cool little "tray" so that oil doesn't drip all over your suspension. I was worried about it until I did my first oil change - it was one of the easiest filters to change.
I wont argue that they made up with the dip trays for the filter. I have seen way worse. I just hate the location. It would have been nice for it to be in a lower spot near the drain plug but then again we are talking about the same manufacturer that went to circle the answer to the problem and messed up the circle(lol and yes i have made quite a few ford guys hate me for that one).
Ranger oil catch valley is a nice idea.
I have not bought a truck yet do agree ranger feels very nice when driven. The tacoma is so slow but there was anither thread similar.to.this one and there were.over 50 psges
Dont let one little thing scare you away from a vehicle. If anything you should be scared of Toyota.... The one company to deny there is a problem with thier vehicles when they are speeding out of control and people are dieing. Also the fact that the Toyota Tacoma is way too slow to even consider for the street. I have also had my truck offroad both stock and modified and it does well!! Can you still run into some kind of problem? Yes but chances are it will be such a small deal that it can be fixed easily.
I get it Phil....pension check, and all that. And, you are correct.
Hi Jim,I get it Phil....pension check, and all that. And, you are correct.
John, I suggest you not worry about that. Forums are places where many people go to talk about a problem with their vehicles. Very seldom does do they come to say, "Hey, my rides great, I love it"
There is definitely some Rangers that have this issue. After they reported this issue on the forum, a lot of other owners got extra catious and starting looking for any sign that gas was getting into their oil. Lots of people found some indication of fuel in their oil (including me) because It's normal for turbo'd GDI engines to have low levels of fuel dilution*. The biggest problem is that there's no clear definition of when that dilution becomes excessive and indicative of a problem.
I agree.but.another concern isI get it Phil....pension check, and all that. And, you are correct.

Well after doing a lot of research I do know the EcoBoost engines have also issues with carbon buildup on the intake valves that require Careful Cleaning also heard in some cases the valve train has to be removed to do that I'm probably going to pass on the Ranger not a big fan of Heist trust turbocharged engine and I'm going to probably get the Tacoma normally ask for a 2.7 L 4-cylinder even though it's underpowered I know those engines last forever
